the fact that you are so scared and anxious shows that it’s OCD! do you think bad people get so worked up and scared about their own thoughts? Do you think they constantly question whether they are a good person or not? Do you even think they CARE about being good? NO. The fact that your thoughts scare you this much shows that you are not a bar person. Don’t let the OCD win. You can’t control your thoughts , it’s not you. We’re here for you

I feel the EXACT same way. I am so sorry you’re going through this I would not wish it upon anyone. I always think I’m a bad person and it really bothers me It literally drags me down and I think the part that confuses me is do people who commit awful acts have any guilt? Idk but I do know that we’re gonna be ok!! I promise.

T, I’m in the EXACT same place. I keep thinking that this is all some big charade I’ve pulled off, and I’m secretly bad and have been scanning my past for any evidence that I’m not a good person, secretly am this way. Growing up I always loved true crime stuff, SVU, all that, so naturally I’m telling myself it’s because it’s speaking to my “real nature.” Sometimes the simple feeling that what you fear is real is worse than any physical reaction.

I am glad to hear that you haven’t had many intrusive thoughts today. I understand your anxiety. OCD is extremely overwhelming. This is why it is properly called the “Doubting Disease.” I also have an intrusive though that states that I have manipulated my therapist into thinking that I have OCD. I know what that feels like. I hate it as well That is a solid prayer.

I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

I am a christian guy who grew up in a christian community and family. For as long as i remember, ive had horrible thoughts about all kinds of things that i dont know where to begin. Due to my extreme thoughts, i feel as if i am unworthy of practicing my religioin, such as praying, reading, meditating, etc. I feel ashamed when i go to church, as if i dont belong there because i feel like i am secretely evil, and that God knows i am evil and i am committing blasphemy by going there, and refusing to "repent", from my thoughts. But then again, my thoughts are just thoughts, sure. So whats the problem? - The problem is that in my faith, i have been taught that we must control our thoughts, so they do not get power over us to make us commit sin. Such as "If you think lustfully about a woman, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart". This verse has killed my self esteem, due to the constant unwanted sexual and disturbing thoughts. It makes me feel like a monster, who secretely just wants to abuse and be horrible to people, even though i know very well i do not want this. Sometimes i think horrible things about the people i love very much, such as my girlfriend. It feels so wrong and evil, even though i know it isnt my true will.

i’m trying to not let the thoughts bother me but it’s just so stressful. even me typing that feels like i’m lying when i know i’m not. i’m scared because even my therapist tells me that it’s just ocd, but in the back of my mind i slightly don’t believe her, and its making me scared that i AM like those people and im gonna act on something. sometimes in social moments i get a quick thought of me being an outcast because im like those people who are sick in the head and act on that stuff, and it just makes me feel like i truly am gonna eventually act on something. another thing that bothered me is earlier my mom yelled at me for not doing school work (it was well deserved im really slacking on it) and i had like no reaction to her screaming. it had me thinking what if i have no empathy etc etc, and what if i get mad that she yelled at me and i do something involving those thoughts. how do i TRULY know it’s ocd? like i try to remind myself and be like “dude, your therapist said it’s ocd, she isn’t wrong” but the back of my mind is like “she is wrong, it’s not ocd and she just happened to misdiagnose you. you are gonna act on those thoughts and it’s your fate”. please someone respond if you read all of this, im really struggling
